The Political Climate: an ongoing commentary on the NH Primary and Climate Change

The times they are ’a changin.

What do politicians have in common with pundits?  With business leaders?  With scientists and religious leaders?  Since the 2004 presidential election they’ve changed their minds about global warming.  Seems that some at the National Wildlife Federation had fun with a Nexis Lexis search and in quick order turned up sixteen instances (view list) where some pretty impressive people have gone on record, here and there over the past 2 years, and explained that they’ve seen the evidence, seen that the evidence is compelling if not overwhelming, and now see global warming as real.  Thanks, NWF guys! 

Be on the look out for Carbon Coalition members this weekend.  One of our “Carbon Cooler” volunteers will be collecting signatures at the Candia Old Home Days Fair on Saturday.  The Lakes Region Public Agenda is hosting three of our speakers to present, “Global Warming-A local issue“–impacts in the Lakes Region and what we can do about it.  The Carbon Coalition panel, Nancy Girard, Barry Rock, and Jim Rubens will present from 2:00 to 4:00 at the All Saints Episcopal Church in Wolfeboro this Sunday.
